Abstract:
The present invention provides for a modular radio frequency communications assembly including a radio frequency hub and one or more radio frequency modules. Each radio frequency module includes a power and data interface for receiving power from and exchanging data with a modular radio frequency hub and a processor and memory for providing at least one of change a communications frequency, increase communications bandwidth, or add security using the one or more antennas and the power and data interface. The radio frequency hub includes two or more communications interfaces for connecting to two or more radio frequency modules, wherein each of the communications interfaces have the same physical and electrical configuration; A shared data and power interface for sharing data and power among the two or more radio frequency modules. A bus distributes data and power among the two or more radio frequency modules. One or more antenna interfaces are located on the RF hub or the RF modules for connecting radio frequency antennas.
